Roost #44 Poop
·
From the Prez –
Lots of
activities coming up as this endless winter refuses to go away- starting with
the Harrington Casino Trip and the St. Patrick's Day Parade this month. See
other activities in the works by the Entertainment Committee. The Annual
Convention is coming up too. See the Convention Report. Jo Ann Elder will have
all necessary Convention information at the next Roost meeting. As you will see, to get the lowest registration
fee for the Convention, you must sign up and bring your registration fee to the
next Roost meeting scheduled for March 14th at OC 360 at 7:30.
The Golf
Scholarship Committee will meet on Wednesday, March 13 at the Original Greene
Turtle at 5:30. Come join us to see how
you can help in this worthy cause of raising money for college scholarships for
graduating seniors at Stephen Decatur High School, Indian River High School and
Worcester Prep. This will be our 22nd
Annual Tournament and it will be held on Friday, May 31st at the Ocean Pine
Golf Course during the weekend of the Convention. We have several new members on the Committee
but we are always looking for more! We
will also need volunteers at the Golf Course to help manage the tournament. Come to the next meeting and check it out! It’s a worthy cause that directly benefits our
community. Information on our Tournament
is available on our website www.ocravensroost44.com as well
as the Council of Raven Roost website - www.councilrr.com.
Remember
that your Roost Membership card entitles you to a 20% discount on food,
beverage & apparel purchases at the Original Greene Turtle. We encourage
Roost members and Roost Committees to patronize the Original Greene Turtle. By
the way, the Original Greene Turtle is a major sponsor of our College Golf
Scholarship Tournament every year and we appreciate their support.
The
Council of Raven Roosts is looking for a photographer to cover the Convention. If you have a recommendation, please see me at
the next meeting or email me at eric_waterman@comcast.net.
My white
Ford pickup truck will be at the next meeting. The back will be open if you would like to
donate plastic bags to Diakonia (local food bank and homeless shelter). The bags are used to help distribute food
contributions to the needy. Simply put
your plastic bags (TIED UP TIGHTLY) in the bed of the truck. This is a great way to recycle plastic bags
for a good cause.

Membership: I will
be collecting dues at the March meeting, or you can mail your dues to: Susan Berterman,
32612 Falling Point Road, Dagsboro Delaware 19939. Still only $30 per year.
·
Parade: Thanks to everyone that has signed up for the
parade. All marchers please meet at
Beach Copy Saturday morning @ 10 am to decorate the truck and enjoy some
pre-parade tailgating - BYOB ☺️. Rumor has it Frank will be making Orange
Crushes. As always, there will be no
parking available at Beach Copy. We
recommend parking down around 45th Street so when the parade ends,
you’ll be close to the finish line. The
parade folks recommend not stopping until you get to 42nd street, or
even the Convention Center. That’s where
we’ll go to break down after the parade.
We have purple vests to wear over our clothes, so it
won't matter whether it's t shirt or parka weather. Something green would be nice under the
vests!
After the parade, everyone is invited to upstairs at
the Original Greene Turtle for some post-parade festivities. We will have some free snacks for the
marchers, but everyone is invited to join in fellowship!
Thanks once again Debbie Banashak for the use of her
facilities as always, Rich Hansen for arranging the port-a-pottie, Kim Bankard
for the decorations, and Shawn and Dawn @ the Turtle for having us afterward. Thanks again!
Susan.

Local Poop
Much
anticipated Ocean City event! Everyone
loves to be Irish at Ocean City's famous parade. Marching units, floats, local celebrities. The Parade procession begins at noon at 60th
Street and marches south on Coastal Highway to the 44th Street Shopping Center
where the viewing and judging stands will be located.
At the
44th Street Village, a fun Irish-American festival is held with food, drink and
merriment.
Trophies
will be awarded for best marching band, best commercial float, best non
commercial float, best motorized unit, best adult marching unit, best youth
marching unit, special committee award, judges' choice award and best overall
entry in the parade.
The 45th
Street Shopping Center will once again be transformed into a spirited Irish
festival complete with live entertainment from Kevin O'Brennan and the
Shoreline Band, Irish apparel, raffles and plenty of food and drink.
For more
information, contact Buck Mann at 410-289-6156.
Funny Poop

The big city man discovered he had no writing paper
at all for his personal correspondence.
He went into the small town near-by and found only an old-fashioned country store. Behind the counter was a really nice looking young redhead, quite obviously a local farm girl.
He asked, "Do you keep stationery?"
"Well," she giggled, "I can...until I have an orgasm, then I just go plain wild and crazy!"
